What is the difference between polyphonic and homophonic?

Both the terms 'counterpoint' and 'polyphony' refer to music where there is more than one musical line being played simultaneously. The term 'counterpoint' comes from the use of the word 'point' to describe a melody. A second melody played alongside a 'point' would therefore be running 'counter' to it, thus, the term 'counterpoint'. Polyphony means 'many' (poly) 'sounds' (phony). Again, it refers to music where there are a number of melodies sounding simultaneously. Therefore, the two terms can mean the same thing. In everyday use, musicians tend to use the term 'counterpoint' for styles of composition where there is a strict working of a certain number of voices in a 17th or 18th century style. Of course, modern music can use counterpoint as well. Please note that the word 'voices' doesn't necessarily mean 'singers'. It refers to any melody. Polyphony is a more general term. Therefore, music written in strict counterpoint is polyphonic and polyphonic music will be a form of counterpoint (contrapuntal) but not all polyphonic music is 'strict' counterpoint. Good, easily accessible examples are J.S. Bach's two-part inventions (two-part counterpoint) and His Fugues from 'The Well Tempered Clavier'.

What is music that features one melody performed by several different voices in succession?

A more descriptive way to put it might be "...more than one line." In general, you could call such music "polyphonic." The music might also be a two- or three-part invention, or perhaps a fugue. Music isn't necessarily polyphonic just because it has rich harmony. On the other hand, some orchestral music is very rich in polyphony. Listen to almost any of the symphonies of Mahler, and you may experience a polyphonic overdose. In terms of popular music, there are more recent examples than this, but if you can get a recording of The Music Man, go to the song that combines melodies for "Lida Rose" and "Will I Ever Tell You". OK, not on the same level as Mahler, but a lovely, inventive and accessible polyphony just the same. See ...er, hear... the link below.
